Democrats Now The Party In Denial
It has only been a few short days since Congress went into summer recess, and yet it feels like forever. As opposition has mounted to the form and content and thrust of the liberal attack on our current health care system (including its access, quality and cost – only one of which is an issue to Americans) the Democrats have tried everything they can think of to pretend their not heading down the wrong path. Even to go as far as to create myths about their opposition and send out their own bull headed union muscle to cower the masses.
The result has been as obvious as the mistakes the DC liberals made from stage one. From squandering their political capitol and the treasure of this country for generations to come on a power drunk lie they called a stimulus bill (which only stimulates preferred organizations and not until later this year) through to their effort to pretend the bill doesn’t say what it says, the Dem0crats have bungled their once in a generation opportunity.
They have even begun to attack Americans as being too stupid to understand their greatness and open up an illegal tip line for the nation’s ‘pure’ to turn in the non-believers who differ from the party-line allowable views.
It has been a strangely Orwellian experience, to say the least. I think when the party in power turns on its own electorate it should not be surprised when the angry mob goes from myth to fact. Will the liberals try and take action beyond their failed PR and amateur muscle tricks?Â
Union thugs cannot intimidate a nation of hearty individualists, made up by a good portion of active and ex-military personnel. There is no fight brewing, because it would not be much of a fight. Small numbers of dumb muscle verses the rest of us? Yeah, that would be outlawed us unfair from the beginning. If Iraq, the 4th largest army could not stand up to American strength and honor, how would an army of out of work bouncers succeed? I just don’t think the dumb muscle is all that dumb, nor is it dedicated and determined to fight to the end. Those under attack, that is a different story.
What came out today as the answer from the liberals under siege was another example of how pathetic these ‘leaders’ are and how far in over their heads they are. The answer today is not to claim the angry mob is evil and out to destroy a naive and inexperienced President who brought union muscle to Town Halls across this country. No, the DC liberal’s answer now is “health care bill? there is no health care bill.” Talk about your dumb politician tricks:
U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a Kansas City Democrat, did not take questions from the crowd. Instead, he met privately with about 75 people in what was to be a small monthly private chat….
Cleaver told those in JP Coffee: “I disagree with people who say (there are) crazy mobs and people are organizing to go and disrupt.â€
Cleaver would not discuss health care with the crowd, in part because there is no completed health care bill, just a series of committee proposals, he said.
OK, it was a unique way to try and avoid the outright backlash growing across this nation with Congress. It seems today Dems in Congress are trying to play dumb, as if even they don’t know what is going on regarding this key issue. But if they don’t know what is being voted on, why all the rush to vote?
I think playing dumb, while closer to reality, is not going to deflect the voters righteous anger away from a Congress out of control and off track. A stimulus package that doesn’t stimulate job creation, a tax on all forms and products requiring energy to battle a mythological threat, and the destruction of our nation’s health care in order to ‘save it’. The voters have been saddled with a bumper crop of idiots and they idiots are wondering why?
Well, not to worry too long. By this time next fall this crop of fools will be heading to new jobs, more in line with their abilities and skills. Because right now the nation knows exactly where the problem is, and it is something they can fix all on their own (H/T Powerline for the image):
14% positive, 84% negative. At this rate the failed liberal congress of 2009 will make the failed GOP congress of 2005-2006 look like geniuses in comparison.
I noticed this teaser on Drudge today:
“Pelosi/Hoyer op-ed in Monday USATODAY calls townhall protesters ‘un-American’… Developing… “.
It appears to me that the Dems. are digging in, as it is their nature it seems, and now further insult us by calling us unpatriotic. If true a truly desperate and risky ploy. This could swing back and hit them twice as hard in the polls of which they may not recover. IMHO
She usually says it’s “immoral” not to support government run health care. Maybe not supporting the “common good” is now unpatriotic. The woman is an idiot.
Olberman compared these protestors to Hamas.
I think these people have lost their minds. I really do.
Can you spot the “astroturf”?
Pro Obamacare supporters with identical garb carrying identical signs paid for by the same Soros-funded groups as funded the anti-war demonstrations vs groups of individuals not wearing identical shirts carrying homemade signs they made with materials they bought themselves.
Oh, and the groups rallying all the pro-Obamacare “protesters” are based on K street. (a lot) More here that exposes exactly who is behind the astroturfing by pro-Obamacare groups … and their K street address.
Iraq Agitation Group Americans Against Escalation in Iraq (AAEI)
An anti Iraq “Surge” group:
Health Care for America Now (a pro Obamacare group)
The address and the phone numbers are the same. No wonder Pelosi believes anti-Obamacare demonstrators are controlled by K Street firms … it is because PRO-Obamacare demonstrators are and she assumes that both sides are doing the same thing. What a dumb “Member”.
It’s pretty obvious that until Americans mount a “Million Brooks Brothers March” on Washington, that the Democrats aren’t going to take any of this seriously.
Whenever you hear the Democrats accuse their opposition of doing something they make sound bad, it is probably they, the Democrats, who are doing it.
The Democrats are the most corrupt bunch of liars I have ever seen elected to office. I can’t understand why so many people keep falling for it.
Well, you’ve finally done it AJ – you’ve gone completely around the bend, and lost your mind. I was wondering when it would happen.
THERE. IS. NO. HEALTH. CARE. BILL. YET.
Why? Because there are 4 versions floating around. Which one is “the” bill? The one in the House? The Senate? The Finance Committee? Which one?
You were unconcerned when the Bush/Cheney Admin instituted a warrantless wiretapping program – but you are terrified of people emailing your URL to the White House. You clueless, sad child.
No Bush supporter should not be allowed to use the word “Orwellian”. If you don’t understand why they introduced the phrase “Enhanced interrogation techniques”, and why that is an Orwellian phrase for “torture”, then you shouldn’t be allowed to play with toys that have sharp edges.
If “the public” is to be the true measure of political gain or loss – how do you measure the hundreds in town halls vs. millions that protested the Iraq War? Why is it that protests only matter when they are done against Dems? Bush had an approval rating below 30% when he left office – doesn’t the 70% of the public that disapproved indicative that he was a “failure” — BY YOUR DEFINITION?
You are now as crazy, marginalized, misinformed, and irrelevant as your personal hero, Sarah Palin. Have fun with your irrelevance for the next 12+ years, whacko.
LOL! Guy, I see you are truly a puppet of the leftwing propaganda machine.
So what was Congress debating and Obama pushing – Cap & Trade? What is posted on the House websites? Why does the ‘non-bill’ have a Congressional bill number?
And the NSA-FISA program only monitored known terrorist targets overseas. If the NSA picked up a contact inside the US with these terrorists it simple passed the data to the FBI to make sure it was not coordination of a pending attack. That is, in essence, what changed after 9-11! Obama wants snitches on Americans living here Einstein.
What a dufus.

UNRR,
Thanks much
It is astounding to see how loyal a bootlicker Guy is – just this weekend, we see that the word is out to dems to try and claim that “there is no health care bill yet” and up pops the cockroach to try and make that very claim!
Here’s why that claim doesn’t work – because we know, both from the stimulus and from the crap and trade house bill, that Pelosi plans on saying “there is no bill, there is no bill” and then piling on 300 pages of amendments in the middle of the night (just like happened on crap and trade) and getting a vote for passage without anyone reading it or debating it.
And then it will be “Oh, we voted for it now! Too late, should have said something when you had the chance!”
Not only have I never seen a regime this corrupt and power mad, I never in my life DREAMED that I would see an American regime this power mad and corrupt.
“If you don’t understand why they introduced the phrase “Enhanced interrogation techniques—
I believe it was the Clinton administration that introduced rendition and “enhanced interrogation”.
GuyFawkes, you are such a tool.
When Obama sent out these thugs to intimmadate the protestors he incurred grounds for impeachment. When he signed the treaty with Russia without having congress vote on it he incurred ground for impeachment. When he joined the communist dictators in demanding that Hondurus take back their former president he incurred grounds for impeachment. The whole health bill is unconstitutional and grounds for impeachment. In the past if during a president’s term he incurred the unemployment figure that is now in effect he would be impeached.
With this congress I realize that will never happen. The dems are in lockstep with Obama and will help bring down this country with him. I really fear for this country. There will be bloodshed in the streets. And also this is the guy who believes in killing newborn babies and not allowing homeowners to defend themselves. Go to a safe place, he says, and let the intruder take anything he wants even your lives if he desires. There is a guy in Illinois right now who shot an intruder.
I realize I an sounding pessimistic about the whole thing but I am really worried.
